Reply to "Shock Absorber Oil"

Thanx for the link.

The antifoam, oxidation stability and seal compatibility will be adressed by using a good quality ATF oil or synthetic, high VI oil as mentioned before.

However, the damping effect will be dictaded by the oil viscosity in a similar way that response time in a hydraulic system is affected by viscosity. Too low viscosity and no damping will take place, too high viscosity and too much damping will take place. Either way, both will result in an uncomfortable ride.
